I'm Irish and I was born on St. Patrick's Day. I'm lucky sevens.

I dont think we're the type of band people look at and say, 'I want to grow up to be just like that'. We're like a train wreck.

My version, of course, is not this flag-waving, let's all get on the Jesus train and ride out of hell. I'm not that kind of guy. It's an embrace that life is good, worth living and yeah, it's not easy, but there are more pluses than minuses.

I believe that if the Tribune company ever tries to close down Wrigley Field that you will have a protest from every corner of the globe.

I'm by nature kind of a glum person, but I'm not a sad pathetic

Indie world won't have me, and mainstream world treats me like an alien, but here I am still floating between these two worlds.

Beware of those angels with their wings glued on.
